Has anyone here ever made a musical instrument? I'd love to make one myself, any ideas? |

I made a timpani out of a large plastic recycling container once. |

I saw some book where there where instructions to build a door bell. Perhaps ill develop this into a little instrument with some tunings! |

I built an 18 piece drum set with different metal and plastic buckets, sand, dowel rods, piping and so farth, it rocks |

i tried to put water on several drink glasses with differently much water in it, put some metalpieces in it so that it hit a corner to the wheel-struck and an additional clay/tone the effect when you kick on it. i used various things to kick on it, like spoons, knifes and bells.... |

This one doesn't quite count, but I refinish guitars and basses for friends. I took a normal looking (strat) guitar and sawed it so it looked like flames coming out the back of it, that took forever! |

Did that mess up the sound at all? |

a handcrafted arseflute! |

LOL, did you get that sound by sticking two fingers in? |
||||||||

I once made one out of a bucket, a bike pump, a teapot, a hangable autobulb and a blender and a sandpaper disc. sounded bloody awful |

Ha ha, I did that in an old track (lost now sadly). |

has anyone seen the commercial ads for MTV2 on MTV2 where it's just that one guy playin those wacked out instruments he made? |

Was it the circuit-bending guy? |

I don't think so.....well he has three commercials one of them is with a double neck "guitar" which on of them was a brook stick, and the other a 2 string base, and it had one of this springy doorstops hooked to it. In a different one he had a piano hooked up to different sized and colored light bulbs, so when he struck key they would light up, when he didn't play any keys there was a bicycle wheel rotating across a piano string, which made unique little sounds as the wheel was wobbly |

hmm..I used to play a Frankenstein bass with E and A of the heaviest guage around and D and G were the lightest Piccolo bass strings (a fraction heavier than normal electric guitar strings)..so it was half bass half rhythm guitar played through a rack of Flangers, Reverbs, Delays and Distortions....but mostly what I got out of it were pinched harmonics..whistling feedbacks and the top two strings slapped to death.. does that count? |

Yes, it must have been another guy. For circuitbending info check: http://www.oddmusic.com/illogic/ Have a look at the photogallery(mad) |

me and my friend are just busy with an organ, after that we plan to build an "alphorn", a typical austrian instrument. the organ still is very unprofessional (we are using simple tubes and the compresser of a fridge) but the alphorn will be better. |

i made a digeridoo (spelling?) out of a length of pvc and some bee's wax. unoriginal you say? well my digeridoo has a slide so i can play it similar to a trombone. |

I once made a synthesizer out of a paper bag, some doggy biscuits and a tube. |

A set of all bass drums made out of like 20 different sized boxes. Each box makes a different sound.Just put the box up side down, put a mic inside and Wala! There you go. |
